What are some of the Sisters of Notre Dame ministries in Papua New Guinea?
Education:
Notre
Dame Secondary School
-
The Sisters of Notre Dame have been leaders in education since their arrival
in PNG in 1961. Notre Dame Secondary School educates 600 girls today,
grades 9-12, and more than 4,000 young women have gone through the Notre Dame
sponsored school since its opening in 1969.
The Sisters are empowering these young women through their work and are
also instrumental in developing Christian leadership in the local parishes of
PNG. Most of the Papua New
Guineans that are professed Sisters have become trained teachers.

Pastoral
ministries:
Shalom House and the SND House of Formation
-
The
Sisters of Notre Dame are also involved in parish and pastoral
ministries and have been leaders in forming a national AIDS awareness
education program to communicate prevention and management of the
disease. Shalom House is a respite center where the Sisters
help women, men and children infected or affected with the AIDS virus.

- The House of Formation is for National Sisters considering religious life.
The
reality of the Church in PNG depends much on the indigenous people bringing
the Good News to their own people. Therefore, support
for Formation and Education are our biggest needs!
